j-hope for Nike

What does the Air Force 1 mean to you? J-Hope: When I expressed music with both feet, that is, when I danced, the first shoes I wore were white Air Force. I remember wearing those white shoes until they were wrinkled and the time was burning, and when I saw the collaborative force with the color of me and Nigo's personalities added, I felt like I was watching my growth process again and I was touched. In terms of meaning, it's harder to express in words!

Meet NIGO x J-HOPE Air Force 1. Classic 1990s Tokyo nostalgia meets modern global stardom on Nigo and j-hope’s reimagined silhouette. Inspired by the creative worlds of both collaborators, the design features a glossy Burnt Sunrise and Metallic Gold leather upper, Chlorine Blue accents and signature squirrel graphics that embody j-hope’s energetic spirit.

I think j-hope is one of the few people who can become a true ambassador for culture and help carry it forward to the next generation. — NIGO for About Nike
